State) in fourth at even-par. Duke's Austin Cody is among a group of seven players tied for sixth at three-over.

"Mads has played in some rough weather in Europe so he was a little more comfortable than many of the guys out there," said Green. "He played very patiently and was smart from tee to green. He did make a few putts which was very difficult out there. He is sitting in good position and we are really pleased with how smart he is playing and how well and patient he has been."

Soegaard recorded seven birdies on the day and played his final 16 holes at four-under. He opened the tournament with eight pars and a birdie on the opening nine holes before playing the back nine at two-over for a 73.

Following eight straight pars, he added a birdie on the par 3 17th hole and closed with a par to enter Tuesday's final round tied for the tournament lead.

Cody played a steady opening round with one birdie, 15 pars and two bogeys en route to a one-over 73. His second round a more of uneven with four birdies, eight pars and six bogeys.

"I am very proud of Austin," said Green. "He would be the first to tell you he made a couple of mental errors out there but for 36 holes he really played some excellent golf."
